Actress Michelle Williams is a married woman after quietly tying the knot with rocker Phil Elverum.

The 'Brokeback Mountain' star exchanged vows with the 'Mount Eerie' singer-songwriter during an intimate ceremony in New York.

Matilda, Michelle's 12-year-old daughter from her romance with the late Heath Ledger, and the groom's little girl from his marriage to late wife Genevieve Castree were among the few family and friends in attendance.

The actress, who is known for closely guarding her privacy, shared the news of her wedding plans in a candid new interview, conducted before the couple became husband and wife, revealing she considers the low-key romance very sacred and very special.

Michelle explained she had been searching for the same kind of radical acceptance she had experienced with ex-boyfriend Ledger.

In fact, she also gave some advice for others looking for longterm love.

Williams says, simply don't settle for something that feels like a prison, or is hard, or hurts you.

If it doesn't feel like love, it's not love.
